The Heart of Florida United Way's 1990 campaign breezed home with a record total of $10,907,252, or 105.3 percent of its goal of $10,352,000.

General campaign chairman Roger W. Strickland announced the results to a crowd of 800 at a victory dinner celebration Friday night at Walt Disney World's Contemporary Resort.

The campaign total easily surpassed last year's final figure of $9,805,152, itself a record. The campaigns are held each year on behalf of the United Way's 86 human service agencies in Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties.

Smaller companies that use payroll deductions raised more than $1.7 million. Public employees finished with $1.7 million.

For the second consecutive year, both Walt Disney World and Martin Marietta raised more than $1 million each.
